Prospect: your voice at work

Prospect's 145,000 members are engineers, scientists, managers and specialists in areas as diverse as agriculture, broadcasting, defence, education and children's services, energy, environment, heritage, shipbuilding, telecoms and transport. We are the largest union in the UK representing professional engineers.

We are independent and forward-looking, and the diversity of our membership continues to grow.

What we do

Prospect advises, defends and supports members if they have a problem at work. We also:

negotiate pay and conditions

campaign for jobs and standards

offer valuable benefits and services

influence employers and government.

Save

We negotiate with more than 300 employers, not just on pay and conditions but on a range of issues that affect our members' working lives: career development, contracts of employment, hours, leave, maternity, pensions, performance pay, promotion procedures, privatisation and company takeovers.

We are also an experienced campaigning body. Prospect is non-party political. But our members' expertise makes our voice count. On broad issues like energy policy and the quality of public services we bring members' views to the notice of key decision-makers such as:

government ministers and MPs

consumer bodies

employers

industry and professional bodies

the public at large.

We have the resources to be effective:

more than £16m a year in income, drawn from over 140,000 members across hundreds of companies and public bodies
